Latest Update:


Bigg Boss Tamil 5, Suruthi planned to take Thamarai Selvi’s coin by taking help of Pavani Reddy. Suruthi was waiting for an excuse to enter the dressing room. In the disguise of taking Isaivani’s dress, Suruthi and Pavani gatecrashed into the room. They took every possible step to hide while materialising the plan. Thamarai, who didn’t expect such a mischievous act from Suruthi, burst down to tears after she realised what happened. Thamarai said she would have given the coin to Suruthi had she asked her (Thamarai). Thamarai complained about Suruthi’s act to Raju Jeyamohan, Ciby, Iykki Berry, and other housemates. Thamarai cried saying that she has landed in a 'controversial and ruthless' show. On behalf of Thamarai, Raju and Ciby questioned Suruthi and Pavani. They argued, there is no rule, which says that the coin cannot be taken from the dressing room. Pavani argued that if Thamarai or someone else keeps the coin inside their dress, how else can they take it. Raju gave a befitting reply to Pavani. While Pavani tries to divert the topic to male vs female, Raju strongly defended his logic. Raju and Ciby opined that the camera isn’t placed in the restrooms and dressing room as it is the only personal space for everyone. There are no specific rules for every situation. Anyhow, Suruthi and Pavani’s decision of taking Thamarai’s coin while she was changing was definitely an immoral and unethical act. The argument became a prolonged one and extended for hours together. Raju read out the announcement of the luxury budget task, ‘Ooru Vittu Ooru Vandhu’. The housemates were divided into two teams - villagers and city dwellers. The house was also set up accordingly. The housemates will have to perform a few tasks to earn some currency to spend during this week. The housemates had good fun during this task. 


Thamarai Selvi falling on Abishek Raaja's feet as he says everyone is working hard for her sake. Meanwhile, Raju Jeyamohan and Priyanka Deshpande talk about saving Thamarai. When Imman asks why everyone tries to help Thamarai but not Chinna Ponnu, Priyanka says she wants Chinna Ponnu to get eliminated. 

Unknown Facts, Controversies:

  • Thamarai Selvi, the first captain of Bigg Boss Tamil 5 house burst out while she narrated her story in the ‘Oru Kadhai Sollattuma’ task.
  • In the new promo, Thamarai says that she isn’t allowed to meet her son. It has been months since she met him. Some of the family members who currently take care of him are poisoned his mind in such a way that he doesn't talk to her. In spite of her attempts to meet him, he avoids her. If she doesn’t reveal her pain now, he might not understand it ever. She further said she decided to take part in Bigg Boss to mainly share her feelings for him.
  •  Iykki Berry and Pavani Reddy are seen trying to calm down Thamari Selvi. Abhishek Raaja empathises with Thamarai and says that she is destined to meet her son and reunite with him.
  • Making an entry into such a big show doesn’t happen so easily. It involves the decision of a number of people. She entered this show to achieve something big. Her words should have already moved the hearts of many people. Those who have hurt her to this extent are adding up their sins. Hearing such words of emotional support, Thamarai suffers an emotional breakdown yet again.
